Bailong Mansion, as the seat of Xiping Dao, can be said to be the headquarters among Yelu'an's strongholds. It is equivalent to the crystal of Yelu'an's power.
But when the news of Yelu'an's death in battle came, the entire Bailong Mansion felt as if the sky had fallen.
There is no way, there is no successor. In such a dangerous time, they can't even choose a new leader.
Yelu'an and Wang Yu are almost the same age. Can you make a bold guess about how old his son is this year?
This is the time when we need to calm people's hearts, but a three-year-old child can calm a hammer's people's hearts!
At such a critical time, when life and death are at stake, is it necessary to push a three-year-old child up? As long as it is in a peaceful era, it is not impossible to push out a child, but this is the time when everything is in danger.
If a three-year-old child is brought out, will the ministers and even the common people accept their account?
Moreover, Yelu'an's generals, the most skilled generals Xiao Jue, Sun Chengen and others died in battle, Kubalu was captured, and the most brave generals Timur and Jin Anxin all died in battle one by one.
Kufensi was captured, and Tamucha's life and death were unknown, leaving only Xiao Yi, the last single seedling.
Moreover, after suffering so many defeats in a row, all the troops that can be fought have been lost long ago. Now there are not even many troops left. How can we continue to fight this battle?
No one knows how to answer this question!
The entire Bailong Mansion was shrouded in a dark cloud.
Regarding where they will go next, several people in power within the Bailong Mansion also have different disputes!
Yelu'an's confidant Gu Yiduocha, his idea is to preserve strength, and it is impossible to do something knowingly that it cannot be done. He knows clearly that once they join the army, they will be destroyed, and they still continue to wait here.
Moreover, Gu Yiduocha also gained the support of a group of generals headed by Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi originally wanted to fight to the death with the Cang Army here and avenge his father and grandfather who died in the battle. However, in the end, he was inevitably deceived by Yelu'an's chief adviser.
Of course, it’s not completely deceptive, after all, what others say makes sense.
Based on the current strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves, even if Xiao Yi stayed here and fought to the death, he would not be able to avenge himself. With such a huge gap in strength, the fish would die, but the net would never be broken.
On the contrary, if Xiao Yi can take a step back and be useful, sooner or later there will be a day when he can take revenge.
To die meaninglessly here, with nowhere to pour out his hatred, or to endure it and wait for the opportunity for revenge, this was the multiple-choice question Gu Yiduocha threw to Xiao Yi.
And when a truly powerful counselor like this persuades someone, he will not use the direct method of reasoning, but will throw a question like this!
However, after they ask this question, the final result is actually determined. When they ask this question, they have already turned you to the corner they want to turn you to.
This is the view of one faction, while the people of the Ku family, who are mainly members of the Ku family, hold the view of the other faction. One advocates active defense. Dongyi is not big in the first place, and it is impossible to defeat others with its size.
While fully defending, they continued to ask for help from the other two forces in Dongyi, and even wanted to seek help from Beidi.
With no other choice, the Ku family has taken root in Bailong Mansion and Xiping Road. If Xiping Road falls into the hands of the Cang people, then their foundation will fall into the hands of the Cang people.
As for relocating the family outside Xiping Road, this is no small project. For a family like theirs, the property and population accumulated over hundreds of years can be moved away at any time.
What's more, can the population and property be moved, can the houses and land be moved, can their pastures be moved? Can the roots and connections they have established here over the years be moved?
If they really move away from Xiping Road rashly, the foundation of the family will be greatly damaged, and it will take several generations to recover.
The interest groups represented by the Ku family are those Dongyi aristocratic families or nobles whose family power is within Xiping Dao.
There is their interest appeal in this, even if they know it is unwise, but so what?
Besides, they have a big business and even if they want to leave, it will take time.
Gu Yiduo observed their group of people. A small number of them were born at the bottom, and some were from other walks of life. Their interests were different from those of the indigenous people, so the starting point for this choice was completely different.
Shang Fang from the Secret Service Department is worthy of being a local talent dug out by Yelu Abaoji. In a short period of time, he has grown from an unknown pawn to one of the few big shots in the Secret Service Department. He is very courageous.
and ability are indispensable.
When the news of Yelu'an's death in battle reached Bailong Mansion, it was still uncertain whether Yelu Abaoji had received the news. Even if he had received it, he could wait until Yelu Abaoji gave instructions and the instructions were transmitted to Bailong.
How long will it take after getting married?
As the person in charge of the secret troops at Xiping Road, Shang Fang made a decisive decision at this critical moment. Since it was too late to ask Yelu for Abaoji's decision, he simply did not ask for instructions. He would not accept the foreign military orders and took the initiative to contact Yelu.
An account of those important people.
Gu Yiduocha, Xiao Yi and others are all rare talents. Instead of letting them die in vain here, it would be better to win them over.
Moreover, what Shang Fang is looking for is not just these talents, but more importantly, the several-year-old son Yelu'an left behind. As the son of Yelu Desi, the previous leader of the Dongyi Kingdom, Yelu'an wanted to be the son of Yelu Desi when Dongyi split.
To turn the tide, he has no doubt about the legitimacy of his bloodline. And his son, of course, has no doubt about the legitimacy of his bloodline.
But Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Defei are usurpers in the minds of many people!
Although Yelu Desi lost the hearts of Dongyi, it does not mean that the Dongyi royal family lost the hearts of Dongyi, especially when Yelu'an's performance was obvious to all. Just like the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not seem to win the hearts of the people.
It looks like that, but the people's hearts and minds of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years are not so easy to overthrow.
Therefore, compared with several talents, Yelu Abaoji actually needs Yelu'an's youngest son more.
At that time, they can stage the scene where Yelu An left his last words to care for his orphan before he died, and in the name of his young son, he can ask Yelu Abaoji to take up the responsibility to prevent the Dongyi Kingdom from being defrauded and destroyed.
human hand.
Stage a drama like this to strengthen Yelu Abaoji's political legitimacy.
It is precisely because of this that the most important reason why Shang Fang is so active is not those few talents, but the son of Yelu'an, who is a child.
